A mid-channel buoy is a floating navigation aid typically positioned in the center of a waterway to help guide vessels through a channel. It serves to mark safe navigation paths, indicating the deepest part of the channel and alerting mariners to potential hazards. These buoys are often equipped with lights or other signaling devices to enhance visibility, especially during low light conditions. They play a crucial role in maritime safety and navigation.
